Thanks for your reply, which increasingly supports my hunch on the badge being Sudan related.
I know that prior to Independence (1/1/1956) the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium used the 'Rhino' on Civil / Police badges of Mongolla Province and Opia District, but thus far I have never head of a military unit from Sudan using either Mongolla or Opia in their unit name. In nearby Kenya Colony, there was a cap badge using the 'Rhino' in uses by the 'East Africa Armoured Cars', and I just wonder if the Sudanese subsequently incorporated the 'Rhino' in their own armoured units insignia?
I will get the badge looked at by some Arabic speakers to see what the legend translates to.
If I subsequently do get the badge positively identified, I will be sure to send an update post on the forum.
Regards.
Mark
